"SPOILER ALERT: THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN MILD SPOILERS.
Lianna Mercier lives a charmed life, or so it seems. She seems to have everything. Rich, famous, a fabulous job at her father's company. Then why does she feel abandoned and alone? She's her daddy's princess. He tells her often enough. But she feels left out, pushed aside. She may be her father's princess, but she doesn't have his respect. She thought working for her father might at least gain her the recognition she's rightfully earned. How could it not? But as her father breaks yet another promise and shuts her out again, she begins questioning her choices, weighing other options. Alone, uncertain, vulnerable, locked in her penthouse apartment, a man in black, from his mask to his gloves to his boots, appears out of nowhere and attacks. She fights, kicking, screaming, trying to take him down, but she's no match for his strength. She's soon out like a light. When she awakens, she's in hell. But why? Why her? She's never harmed anyone. As she soon finds out, nothing is as it seems, and her nightmare has just begun. Alternately filled with rage, fury, hopelessness, despair, and the ever growing realization that she might never escape from this chamber of horrors, can there be any hope? Even when the identity of her captor is revealed, there's no recognition, no understanding, and no way she can escape. Her kidnapper doesn't just want her. She's a pawn, a means to an end. He seeks cold-hearted revenge, and she's the one to pay the price. There's an agenda, a perceived reason, behind the madness into which she's been thrust. Decades of planning to take apart lies built upon lies. But can Lianna believe anything this apparent psychopath says, especially after the torture and agony he's put her though? How do you reason with a madman? Who's telling the truth? Can she believe anyone or anything? One thing is clear. If Lianna is to survive, she's going to have to reach deep within herself, look at everything her life's been, and make decisions she isn't sure she's capable of making. Her very survival is at stake.
Jennifer Bene is one of my favorite authors. Very few can write dark erotica the way she does. Destruction takes you to the heights and depths of what the human soul can conceive of and the darkness and light inherent inside each of us, even if we're unwilling to admit it. Lianna's story is full of conflict on every level. Her relationship with her father is one of great love and yet great need as well. Her captor is filled with blackness, hatred, the very definition of evil. Yet even he has reasons, justifications, for his actions. To say this story is complicated would be an understatement. Yet in the end, Jennifer Bene has scored another winner by showing us the intricate complexity of humanity. All of us have light and dark in our souls. This story highlights that no one is totally innocent, nor is anyone totally evil. I love how the dark and light play off each other, slowly growing, changing, coalescing into something far beyond what you could expect from any of these characters. Ms. Bene has again shown her brilliance in this genre. I absolutely loved this story from beginning to end. It more than deserves five stars. Thank you, Ms. Bene, for yet another deliciously dark and convincing story showing us just what being human is all about.
One final note. Please be an informed reader and consumer! This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language and some extremely dark, nonconsensual sexual scenes. If you don't enjoy this genre, think hard before buying any book you know you won't enjoy. There are book synopses and reviews available on Goodreads and all booksellers' websites. Use these resources. DON'T LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WON'T ENJOY THE BOOK. It's not fair to the author. She works extremely hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you'll object to the book's subject matter before you buy it, you're doing yourself and the author an extreme disservice.
Thanks for reading my review and happy reading"

Thanks for reading my review and happy reading - If you've ever read one of Jennifer Bene's books, you know she can take your breath away with her darkness and Destruction is no exception! What I loved about Destruction was how much of a psychological thriller it was. I love me some dark, but mix it with a mind *beep* and I was on the edge of my seat. The other great thing about book is you can really connect with the 2 main characters. The character development in this book is amazing! I felt Lianna's anger and sorrow during her captivity and I felt David's rage and frustration with Lianna and her father. This book is brilliantly written and will keep you captivated until the very last word!
- First, make sure you understand that dark romance is just that before you buy this book and then complain that it is a dark romance with elements of revenge, violence, and nonconsensual acts. That and more is in this book. If that is not what you like to read, then DON'T read it. Simple concept.
Personally, I am most intrigued when reading a book by Jennifer Bene of how her mind thinks- where do these characters live in her head? I find her writing to be page turning, intriguing, thought provoking, shocking, and sometimes even a bit heart tugging.
Enough of that and on to the book. David has reasons from his childhood and into adulthood to hate Lianna's dad. Reasons that he believes allow him the right to do whatever despicable thing he can think of to hurt her father to the depth of his soul--to tear out his soul if possible. David is willing to sacrifice himself to achieve his ultimate revenge. He sees the pawn in the game being Lianna.
Lianna works for her father. She is well-educated, has an intense work ethic, and believes she owes it to her father to be a worthwhile heir to his empire he has created. She is often disappointed that her father seems to love his business more than her, but she never gives up hope that someday he will see her true value.
David targets Lianna and captures her. He is not kind, not gentle, and doesn't ask permission. He takes, he hurts, and he tries to destroy everything she is and everything she stands for. She surprises him with her strength, her innocence, her refusal to crumble and be his victim.
You need to read this story because there is much more to it than I have shared and the character development alone is a gift Ms. Bene shines with.
There is no cliffhanger even though there is another book about the couple coming out. This story does end with a HFN at least.
I received this as an Advanced Reader Copy and voluntarily reviewed it but liked it so much I decided to purchase the book for my own kindle collection. - You know when you pick up a book that's mind-bogglingly amazing? Oh, you don't? Well then pick this one up. For those of you that like warnings, this is dubious/non-con. My pitch black heart loved this book.
The character development is amazing, and the story is so well told. The way David and Mr. Mercier's true selves are revealed is flawless, and had me a bit stunned.
If, and only if, you like real dark romance PICK THIS BOOK UP. That's an order.
